Description

Research shows better outcomes can be achieved when patients increase exercise, improve nutrition, and put in place strategies to manage additional stress and anxiety. This session, delivered by Michael Salmon (Dietician), Andreea Ardeleanu (Social Worker), and Rebecca (Bec) Cesnik,(Accredited Exercise Physiologist) will look at ways you can support your treatment through exercise, nutrition and mindfulness.

Michael has been working as a dietitian within the Radiation Oncology department for the past year delivering nutritional advice to patients pre, during and post treatment. In particular, Michael has enjoyed working to improve patient outcomes and experiences within the Head and Neck Multidisciplinary team.

Andreea has worked for many years as a Senior Social Worker with the Cancer Counselling Service. Andreea has an interest in survivorship issues and currently co-facilitates the Life After Cancer Treatment group which is held regularly throughout the year.

Bec is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who has been working at the Canberra Hospital since 2013. Whilst she works in a wide variety of areas, she has a special interest in exercise during oncology treatment. Bec has recently been involved in the development and coordination of the “Exercise During Cancer” group within the Exercise Physiology Department, which assists individuals to maintain and/or improve their strength, function and quality of life, both during and following treatment.
